The project is part of the Research Unit “Practices of referring to persons: personal, indefinite and demonstrative pronouns in use”. The aim of this project is to analyze the situative use of personal, indefinite and demonstrative pronouns, based on a corpus of oncological medical interactions where cancer patients are told their diagnosis and proposed therapy. Applying methods and concepts of Conversation Analysis and Interactional Linguistics, the project plans to show how pronouns are used to constitute participant roles, how self- and other-repair is managed, how strategies of agentivation and de-agentivation are employed and how stances are marked. At the same time, the role of these pronouns in the context of typical actions within these oncological interactions will be reconstructed. Hereby, prototypical and as well as deviant uses of pronouns will be detected. To achieve this aim, the corpus will be annotated in terms of verbal strategies of clarifying and masking of reference and agentivity (this concerns personal pronouns, indefinite pronouns, infinitive constructions, existential construc¬tions, passive constructions, formulaic expressions such as let’s say and many more). This broad annotation provides the background for further analyzes of referential practices to persons with pronouns. The following questions will be addressed: (1) At which sequential positions do ambiguities and vaguenesses concerning reference to persons occur and how do they relate to degrees of agentivity? Which interactional functions and consequences do these ambiguities have? When and how, for example, do they lead to repair sequences, active thematizations of understanding and demand of taking a clear stance? (2) How do doctors and patients’ relatives talk about present patients in triadic constellations? Which forms of lateral address are used? (3) In what ways and in which sequential positions do personal, indefinite and demonstrative correlate with the activities carried out? (4) Which interactional functions do the different pronouns have? When do interactants use personal pronouns, when indefinite pronouns and when demonstrative pronouns to refer to present and absent persons? (5) How do pronouns contribute to the local constitution of the situative participant constellation, to the indication of social team building between the interactants, to the display of collaborative coping, to the inclusion or exclusion of the common situation or the marking of deontic or epistemic authorities? (6) Which sedimented patterns containing pronouns are used as communicative resources for which actions?

该项目是“指称人的做法：使用中的人称代词、不定代词和指示代词”研究股的一部分。这个项目的目的是分析的情况下使用的人称，不定代词和指示代词，基于语料库的肿瘤医疗互动，癌症患者被告知他们的诊断和建议的治疗。运用会话分析和插话语言学的方法和概念，该项目计划展示代词如何用于构成参与者角色，如何管理自我和他人修复，如何使用代理和去代理策略以及如何标记立场。与此同时，这些代词在这些肿瘤相互作用的典型行动的背景下的作用将被重建。据此，原型和以及偏离使用代词将被检测。为了实现这一目标，语料库将根据澄清和掩盖指称和施事的动词策略进行注释（这涉及人称代词，不定代词，不定式结构，存在句，被动结构，公式化表达，如让我们说等等）。这一宽泛的注释为进一步分析人称代词指称实践提供了背景。以下问题将得到解决：（1）在哪些顺序位置做歧义和歧义的人发生的参考，以及它们如何与程度的施事？ 这些歧义有哪些干扰功能和后果？例如，它们何时以及如何导致修复序列、理解的积极主题化以及采取明确立场的要求？(2)在三元星座中，医生和病人的亲属如何谈论现在的病人？使用哪种形式的横向地址？(3)人称的、不定的和指示的与所进行的活动有什么样的关系，在什么样的顺序位置上有关系？(4)不同的代词有哪些插入功能？互动者何时使用人称代词，何时使用不定代词，何时使用指示代词来指代在场和缺席的人？(5)代词如何有助于当地宪法的情况下参与者星座，社会团队建设的互动者之间的指示，合作应对的显示，包括或排除的共同情况或标记道义或认知当局？(6)哪些包含代词的沉淀模式被用作哪些行为的交际资源？
